Low Libido in Winter Park, FL

A decrease in sex drive is a condition that is unique in the fact that there is no definitive way to monitor it. Doctors have no gauge for what a "normal" sex drive should be, so it is defined differently with each and every patient whether they're a man or a woman.

Only you can define what your natural desire for sexual relations should be, and as a result, only you can decide when it's time to seek the help of a qualified professional.

If you've noticed a decrease in your libido, it could be due to a number of factors. The solution may be simple, as in the case where the culprit is a side effect from a medication you were prescribed. It could be the result of the physical and mental anguish that comes with dealing with an unrelated chronic pain, or it may be hormonal.

It may be difficult for a woman to determine what is causing her loss of libido, because it is difficult to monitor when a loss actually occurs. Simply not wanting sex as often as your partner doesn't necessarily mean you're sex drive is lacking, although if you're desire is less than you think it should be, it may be time to contact someone for help.

Whether the cause is physical, psychological, or hormonal, an experienced doctor can develop a treatment plan that restores your vigor to a level that meets your expectations.

Some physical and psychological causes for a diminished libido include:

Low Libido in Men

Some people think that men should have no problem with their sex drive, and because of this, many men suffering from a diminished libido may keep the problem to themselves.

While there is no standard measurement for a healthy male sex drive, you have the power to determine when it isn't what you think it should be.

There are a number of treatable factors that can lower your sex drive. Some of these include:

Side effects from medications such as antidepressants or drugs for high blood pressure
